After CJ boasted he would absolutely destroy all the Houthis pirates to protect world shipping, and after he changed his story and said he would ruthlessly assassinate their leadership wherever they may be, now he said it’s all good and they’ll play nice in the future.
They gave their word! (And no, this isn’t from The Onion News).
“President Trump abruptly announced on Tuesday that the United States would cease bombing the Houthi militia after he said the Iranian-backed group told the United States that “they don’t want to fight anymore.”
“They just don’t want to fight,” Mr. Trump said during a meeting with the Canadian prime minister in the Oval Office. “And we will honor that and we will stop the bombings. They have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their word. They say they will not be blowing up ships anymore.”
After Mr. Trump’s remarks, Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, a senior Houthi politician, said that if the United States halted its attacks on Yemen, the Houthis would halt their attacks on a smaller group: “American military fleets and interests.”
However, Mr. Al-Bukhaiti said the Houthis would continue military operations “in support of Gaza” until Israel lifts its siege on the enclave, “no matter the sacrifices, even if we have to fight until Judgment Day.”
His statement left unclear whether the Houthis would stop impeding international shipping, which had been the American bombing campaign’s objective. The Houthis have insisted that they would continue to hit Israel-linked ships, but in the past, the militia has targeted vessels with no obvious link to either Israel or the United States…”
